Maternity Photoshoot

Fun, creative on location

Bonita and Mark (Maternity Photoshoot)

It’s always very exciting doing a Maternity shoot with first time parents. Although the birth of every child is equally special, there’s just this tangible elation during a shoot with new parents, and Bonita and Mark were definitely ready to explode with happiness. Expecting their first baby girl, Elim, we had so much fun with this soon-to-be mom and dad. I could immediately tell they have been planning this day for a while when I saw them getting out the huge LOVE sign and frames and all sorts of fun props, to make sure Elim knows exactly how thrilled they were for her arrival. And most probably to torture her with in the years to come. Aaaah, these are the moments we live for, experiencing such joy from others and making that same joy come to life in the pictures we take. To make room for all that excitement and personality, we did the shoot at the Majik forest in Bellville, Cape Town. A gorgeous location and most certainly a majestic backdrop for Mark, Bonita and Elim’s first photo-shoot as a family.

Baby Elim was born on 27 January 2014, the same day as her Oupa, Bonita’s dad. We are sure they are having a fantastic time spoiling their new bundle with love. We wish them every ounce of happiness on this remarkable journey ahead.
